Detailed explanation-1: -Macrophages. Macrophages are derived from monocytes and are found in the tissues. They have a major role as a first defence mechanism in phagocytosis of cellular debris, microbes and any other foreign substances.
Detailed explanation-2: -In mammals, phagocytosis is the hallmark of specialized cells including macrophages, dendritic cells, and polymorphonuclear neutrophils that can engulf large particles, microorganisms, and cell debris. These cells are collectively referred to as professional phagocytes.
